Using Silent Installation

If you want to install several Sun Java System Web Servers, you can
use silent installation to create a file of responses to the setup prompts
of program. You can then edit the file, install.inf, and
use it for future Sun Java System Web Server installations.

Silent installation works best when you use the Typical installation
and your installations are all similar.

Caution –

The install.inf file contains the password
used to log on to the Administration server. The password is not encrypted;
it is in plain text. If you use silent installation, be sure to delete the install.inf file once you are through with it.

Because Sun Java System Web Server is downloaded as a self-extracting .exe file, you must first extract the files before running setup.exe.

To extract the files

Double-click the self-extracting .exe file
to start the installer.

When you launch the installer, it unpacks the files to your TEMP directory. Without exiting the installer, go to the TEMP directory
and copy the installation files to another location.

Once the files are copied, exit the installer.

You
now have a copy of setup.exe that you can use for creating
the install.inf file.

To use silent installation,
follow these steps:

From the command line, run setup with the -k option, which creates
a file called install.inf that contains all your responses
to the prompts of installer. At the command prompt, type:

setup.exe
-k

Answer the installer prompts and install Sun Java System Web Server.

When the server is installed, go to the server_root/setup directory, where you will find the install.inf file.

Copy the install.inf file to the directory
where you will run setup to install the Sun Java System Web Server.

Edit the values in the install.inf file to
match the values of the next server you want to install.
